It is very simple to make. Just put together a bunch of olive branches with floral wire. Add a few cute bells like these and you’re all done!

Don’t have time to put together a pallet sign? No problem.

Pay your garage a visit and look for an old, chippy window (there has to be one, I mean, what are garages for?).

Use it to frame burlap with white lettering. This is how you create a gorgeous Christmas sign.

You can get burlap here. It’ll be useful for many Christmas to come. Also, for other farmhouse décor projects too!

If you need inspirations, here are a few verses from my favorite Christmas carol:

I’ll be home for Christmas

You can plan on me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And presents on the tree.

I love sending and getting Christmas cards. Do you? If you have lots of cards sent to you by family and friends over the years, you might be wondering what to do with them.

I believe this Christmas cardholder is a beautiful and practical way to store your cards. It will not only keep them neat and organized but it will also show off your cards and serve as a gorgeous Christmas decoration.

20. Winter Basket Centerpiece

Not providing at least one décor idea that uses a basket would be so negligent!

The best thing about baskets is that you can find them at crafts stores or even the dollar store. Plus, you can use spray paint (here is the gold one if you fancy the color) to transform them into your favorite color.

For this simple yet stunning centerpiece, you only need winter greens and candlesticks.
